The I-93 Tri-Town Interchange Project is critical
to improving the regional highway network, safety and traffic flow, as well as serving
as a catalyst for economic development and job creation in the Merrimack Valley.

Goals of the project include:

Improving the safe and efficient operation of the highway system;

Relieving congestion on Interstate 93 and on roadways in the surrounding communities
of Andover, Tewksbury and Wilmington;

Reducing cut-through traffic in local residential neighborhoods;

Reducing traffic congestion on the adjacent industrial and commercial roadways;

Supporting the municipalities' goals for sustainable development and mixed use projects
and minimizing environmental impacts; and

Supporting the vision of a proposed life sciences and high technology corridor.

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) plans to relieve congestion
on I-93 by constructing a new interchange between Interchanges 41 and 42 and adding
one travel lane in each direction between this area and Interstate 495. The project
team is coordinating with regional planning agencies, the state's I-93 Working Group,
the Tri-Town Development Task Force and others to ensure the project is sensitive
to the communities' visions and plans.
